Natural Healing Through Acupuncture.
Auckland-Based, Patient-Focused

Stephen is such a welcoming person to his awesome clinic, which BTW always smells so good and feels so zen! Stephen listens, thinks and explains before doing anything, and asks your permission before treatment is applied, injecting a light and dry sense of humour bundled with oodles of compassion. Personally I look forward to seeing Stephen as I know the outcome will always be a positive one, with the added bonus of a good old chat, I come out so chilled and recharged, I can't wait to go back. Oh and did I mention that he actually heals, the most important part right! In one of my more recent visits, I had a pulled calf muscle, that was so painful it made walking so difficult. After one treatment, I was walking again the next day as if it was never a problem! Stephen is the man, don't look elsewhere!

Stephen is a brilliant acupuncturist at the top of his game. He has saved me many times from colds, flu, injuries and general malaise with his gentle and effective acupuncture and herbs. Highly recommended!

Excellent Experience and Professional Service I recently visited the health clinic for a series of acupuncture treatments, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. From the moment I walked into the clinic, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Stephen is incredibly knowledgeable and professional, taking the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explain the treatment process. The clinic itself is clean, serene, and designed to promote relaxation. Each session was conducted with the utmost care and attention to detail, ensuring that I was comfortable and at ease. Stephen's expertise in acupuncture is evident, as I noticed significant improvements in my condition after just a few sessions. I particularly appreciated the personalised approach, as he tailored each treatment to address my specific needs. The treatments not only alleviated my physical discomfort but also greatly improved my overall sense of well-being. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking effective and holistic care.

I went to Stephen last year after being diagnosed with a frozen shoulder, having lifted something too heavy. In just 3 or 4 sessions, spread over 2 or 3 months, I got full mobility back and pain all but vanished - I don't yet sleep on that side but up to me to make one last appointment. Furthermore, the sessions were pleasant and soothing, Stephen was always kind, considerate and generous. Much appreciated.

A perfect place to get your balance back! A welcome and a smile, is all it takes on arrival to know I am in good hands with Stephen. He is a true professional at the top of his game … who has made an incredible difference to my life after my accident. His knowledge and treatments are definitely life changing 🙏 Thank you!

Had really bad rhinitis (runny nose) without allergy that was persistent at random times throughout the year. Seemed to be getting worse as I got older and Stephen was able to reduce symptoms by 70% - 80% on the first treatment. On the second treatment I feel it's practically 100% symptom free which i've never experience in the last decade. Stephen listens to you and aims to treat you entirely in 1 session unlike other TCM practitioners that may suggest needing multiple sessions. None of prior treatments from western doctors helped, allergy pills, countless sprays over the counter and doctor prescribed.. nothing worked and I was considering surgery for rhinitis which is a temporary fix that last 2 - 3 years and cost $10k+ I'm glad I discovered Stephen to get a treatment that works. Highly recommend anyone to see Stephen for any health related issue, i've now retired my western doctor and will see Stephen first for any health issues.

Mary was so caring and took the time and patience to understand what was required. It was a great first experience with acupuncture. I'm looking forward to getting rid of aches, pains and better blood circulation with TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) too.

I have had an amazing experience at The Health Clinic. Stephen was so knowledgeable and fully listened to all my issues so that we could come up with a plan to try and solve it. I always look forward to my appointments and cannot recommend it enough!

Stephen is amazing, extremely caring, professional and knowledgeable and has helped me to alleviate the struggles I have with my auto-immune disease with TCM through acupuncture, cupping and Chinese herbal medicine . Stephen made me feel instantly at ease for what would normally be an uncomfortable situation for me, and his determination to make me feel better is second to none. Thank you Stephen, so glad to have found you.

Amazing acupuncture and treatment. I've been coming here since and it opened and highly recommend The Health Clinic!

Stephen helped me so much from the start. I was in very bad shape with my thyroid, water retention and other health problems. Between the herbs, acupuncture and Stephen listening to how I felt and what my concerns are, I feel like a new person already. Thank you for your knowledge and understanding of how to correctly treat you patients with a lot of care.

Stephen is such a compassionate and caring practitioner with a wealth of knowledge. He helped me de stress and clear some severe burning uti like pain across my whole pelvis I was feeling that was debilitating with a 3 day herb course. I ended up having more things going on with my gut microbiome than he could assist with and he was honest in his limitations and guidance for my next steps. So grateful for him and would recommend to anyone!

I have suffered from Restless Legs Syndrome and consequent interrupted sleep for a number of years. I tried many remedies without success. My physio recommended acupuncture. After a few treatments with Stephen at The Health Clinic, my restless legs stopped. I am able to relax into sleep without my legs twitching. Stephen is very knowledgeable in all aspects of acupuncture, is easy to communicate with and he has provided ongoing support. His practice in Grey Lynn is very accessible with parking close by. I would highly recommend a consultation. Judy Webb

Lovely space. Stephen is a truly gifted practitioner. Thank you so much for all the care you provided!

Stephen is a wonderful and talented professional. I have had Accupuncture and Chinese Herbal Remedies and I can recommend them highly. His careful consultations give outstanding results. I have connected my whole family so they can gain healthy outcomes like I have experienced.

I cannot recommend Stephen Parsons at The Health Clinic in Grey Lynn highly enough. As someone who values a natural, holistic approach to health, I was incredibly impressed by Stephen's deep expertise in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and his genuine care for his patients' wellbeing. His acupuncture sessions are nothing short of transformative—deeply relaxing and effective for treating both physical and emotional imbalances. I’ve also experienced cupping therapy and ear seeding, which were incredibly beneficial for releasing tension, improving energy flow, and supporting my nervous system. What truly sets Stephen apart is his ability to blend customized Chinese herbs and traditional medicines to complement the body’s healing process. Every session feels like a step towards long-term balance and vitality. If you're looking for a professional and experienced TCM practitioner in Auckland, Stephen Parsons is the person to see. I always leave The Health Clinic feeling renewed and aligned—it's a true sanctuary for healing in the heart of Grey Lynn.

I have seen Stephen over the past year for various issues with muscular pain and injuries as well as other issues like energy levels, stress and sleep. He is incredibly talented, kind, friendly, knowledgeable and compassionate. I feel very comfortable with him and trust his treatments as I always feel better afterwards. I love his approach to wellness and health. I have seen him for acupuncture, moxa, cupping and chinese herbs. I highly recommend Stephen and his treatments to anyone seeking wellness outside of the mainstream medical approach or even to accompany a conventional medical treatment.

Stephen is absolutely the best and has been such a support throughout my endometriosis and fertility journey. From the moment I stepped foot in his clinic, he treated me like a friend - warm, welcoming and genuinely caring. His approach made every sessions something I looked forward to, and his support made such a difference. Plus, he always has the best lolly selection!

The treatments I have received from Stephen have been life changing. I was experiencing a great deal of pain and lack of movement which has radically changed. I appreciate his warm, empathetic, professional and skilled approach.

Stephen was fantastic - really professional and knowledgable. My chronic back pain has now gone after really relaxing treatments of acupuncture, masssage and herbs. I highly recommend The Health Clinic.

I was suffering from persistent chronic headaches for months and nothing was helping. I tried a physio, a RMT and even my GP. A friend later recommended trying acupuncture as it had helped them with a similar issue. I couldn't believe it. After months of headaches, Stephen was able to give me relief, and now, after a few appointments, I've been headache free. Thank you Stephen!
